The Water-method Man Fun Activities

Responsibility in the News

Bogus is very irresponsible throughout the book, and it has a lasting effect on many characters. Find a newspaper article that shows a lack of responsibility in some way. Write a paragraph explaining how the lack of responsibility affected those involved or society at large.

Dear Creditor

Bogus spends an entire chapter writing letters to creditors. They take on many different styles from lying to abuse to flattery. Write a "Bogus-letter" to a creditor using any method, from logical to outrageous, that you think would get you an extension on your bill.
